Safety Town Graduation

I forgot I had these photos in my camera! The week of June 11-15th, Grace participated in a pre-kindergarten tradition in our area - Safety Town. All the communities offer a week-long camp for children who will be entering kindergarten in the fall. In our town they go to City Hall which is also the same campus as the police and fire departments. The children learn about police, fire, 911, personal safety, water safety, stranger-danger, etc. On Monday when Kyle dropped her off she said, "I don't want to go, but I know I have to be brave." But by the end of the first day she was telling us how awesome it was and that she got to go into a police car and the jail! The other days seemed to be just as fun and informative. She even came home with a new bike helmet on the day they learned about crossing the street and bike safety. But the end of the week when they "graduated" Grace was sad that it ended!
